This has been covered extensively in other threads,
but in my experience it hasn't actually heated up, rather the camera stops recording before it does, and this is the 5 minutes limit. Normally, when you reach those five minutes it stops and you can just press rec again e start another 5 minutes. What people refer to sometimes as heating up is when you shoot too many 5 minutes in a row or when you are shooting in a hot environment. In these circumstances the camera will lower its limit to 30 seconds. But this hasn't happened to me yet. (I think the most I've shot 5 min in a row is 4 times 5 minutes, in an interview, and that is like 20 minutes of straight shooting with the gaps, that's a lot).

i guess you haven't been following the previous extensive coverage.
as you say the camera does get overheated and when it happens the recording time is further limited, not to 30s necessarily but proportional to the heat, if you keep shooting it only records for a few seconds at a time and finally shuts down altogether. limiting the shooting time in the first place probably doesn't have that much to do with overheating, since it's not the recording that causes it, but simply having the sensor active in live view./matt

When I used to to do some interviews a few weeks back, it ran for maybe 40 minutes in LiveView with almost continuous recording before finally shutting down. This was in doors using Kino Diva 200's so it wasn't a hot environment at all. I waited about 5 minutes and rolled again for about 10 - 15 before it shut down on me again.
My guess is that a 10 to 20 minute break would have given it time to cool off. Ice packs might not be a bad idea to bring along if you're doing a long interview session.

i was shooting a lot clips outside the last days.
And in the hot wheater i had the 30 second warning quite often.
so cover your cam and maybe just remove the lense to let it breath a bit.
